Moving Xbox live profile to a different Microsoft account

Xbox Profile must be linked to a Microsoft Account (LIVE Account). The only way to separate the two would be to move your profile to a different/new Microsoft Account.

Hope this helps

I tried this exact method, however when attempting to change the primary alias, no matter how many times I click "make primary" it would not change the primary alias. It is now saying I've changed my primary alias too many times this week even though it
hasn't changed once.

If the email that you are trying to move your xbox profile to is already a Microsoft account you will not be able to do this.

The only thing that can be done is to add a new NON Microsoft account email to the old account and then you can make that email the primary email and then remove the old email.

What I mean by a NON Microsoft account email is.

1. Can not be a Microsoft server email i.e. Outlook, Hotmail, msn, live

2. If it is not a Microsoft server email the email you are trying to add to the account can not be on a Microsoft account already as an alias for instance if you are using it for anything to do with Microsoft it will not work.

To add an email address to a Microsoft (MS) account follow these steps:

1. Sign into your account at account.live.com/addassocid and verify ownership of the account.

2. This will bring up a page with two options

A. Create a new Outlook.com email. This will create a new outlook email and put it as an alias on the account.

B, Add an existing NON MS account email. This will be an email like Google, Yahoo, ISP server email that is not currently used anywhere else with a MS account.


All this is doing is changing what email address is used to sign into the account everything else remains the same as far as like purchases, passwords, addresses, payment options these still all remain the same.

Hi there,

to remove that gamer profile from that Microsoft account, you will need to move that gamer profile to a different Microsoft account, you can do this via the xbox console. You will first need to download that profile onto the console to be able to move it.
But after a profile is downloaded it will take 30 days before it can be moved to a different Microsoft account (this is a security measure)

After that you can move that account to a different Microsoft account to free up the Microsoft account you want to use for your gamer profile and then you can move your gamer profile to your Microsoft account.

Hey there xd gta 5!

For clarification, are you trying to merge two existing Xbox Live profiles? Unfortunately there is not a way to merge two different profiles. However, if you would like to move your Xbox Live profile to a different Microsoft Account, you can do so on your
Xbox 360 console by following the steps on our
Move Your Gamertag support page.

Post back and let us know that helps!
